Jessica Simpson’s ‘Gusla’ wedges – move over Giuseppe Zanotti

Remember Giuseppe Zanotti’s architectural wedges, and how we thought no one would ever actually wear them? Turns out we were wrong. Well, maybe. Jessica Simpson – or rather, the people who design shoes under Jessica Simpson’s name – certainly seems to think there’s a market out there for wedge shoes that you could almost walk underneath. Well, OK, not quite. But these ‘Gusla’ wedges are pretty eye-catching, anyway. You can buy them for $90.95 at Zappos, but would you want to, that’s what we want to know?

I’m undecided about these shoes. I quite like them… but I’m not sure if I’m confusing ‘artistic aesthetics’ with ‘is this wearable?’.
… yes, I think ‘eye-catching’ is the right word. I wouldn’t spurn them completely like I would some of the shoes I’ve seen on here but I’m not sure they entirely appeal. I’d like to see how this architectural wedge trend progresses. 😛

I just got these shoes in the mail and they’re the wave of the next generation of high heeled divas. Truly desgined for the master stilletto glider. If you lack equilibrium these are NOT for you. If you are statuesque and can command the runway without even moving these are DEFINITELY for you. I can’t wait to see more of these from Jessica’s designers. I’m impressed! I have them on right now and they are truly an architectual masterpiece for the feet. And get this….they’re comfy too!

Jessica Simpson makes wedge slippers, tries to sell them as “shoes”

We’ll be the first to admit that the Jessica Simpson shoe line isn’t half bad. In fact, we realise this may come as a shock to some of you, but we actually quite like some of the shoes being made in Jess’s name. Not these ones, though, because is it just us, or is anyone else seeing a wedge-heeled slipper here? And wondering what purpose shoes like this could possibly serve, because surely if it’s cold enough for fur-lined slippers (faux, naturally), it’s too cold for mules? Not to mention the fact that there’s just never really a good time to wear your slippers out of doors, is there?

They’re probably meant to be worn in California. The weather in most parts is ambiguous enough and the people are crazy enough that you can get away with pretty much anything here as long as it’s worn in the name of fashion.

I love these shoes. Have a pair. tights are awesome with these with a long skirt. Being as I am only 5’1 , I prefer wedges over heels and most skirts are too long for me, these are perfect. I also like them with jeans.
